for the most overrated team of the past 10 years, if not ever. maybe not overrated, but I cant call them chokers since choking would mean they blew it at the last minute. ok I got it... biggest over achieving team.

Nah, too talented to be called over achieving.

I don't know what you'd call them, but between

Losing the Finals 4-2 after going up 2-0 in the beginning (first time that has happened, I believe),
Being the first seed losing to the 8th seed,
and now being the 2nd seed losing to the 7th seed;

It's not that simple. Dirk is treated as a superstar when he isn't one. He's treated as a franchise player when he isn't one.

Look at players like Ray Allen or prime Peja. Those guys could be great scorers, but there was no way they were winning championships as the clear #1 with supporting players, no matter how talented those supporting players were. They were the types of guys who needed players as good, or better beside them if they wanted to win a ring. Dirk is overrated in the sense that people still think he's the kind of player can have a championship team built around him.

Carlisle just said Haywood has earned a max contract and that Beaubois will get 10 minutes per game next year. If Barea gets injured he might increase it to 15 minutes. They´ll also trade Dampier´s expiring contract for Jermaine O´Neal.
